    What do you guys think.
    I might buy them for my dad, but I'm wondering if you guys have any other suggestions. He will be using them primarily for casual use w/ mp3 player/cd player.
    Any other lightweight, good sounding headphones?

    I'd totally go for these headphones. I've had a pair of them for 2 years now and I'm still impressed with them everytime I put them on. Very lightweight, and they don't push on your head hard, so you can wear them for hours on end. Great Sound quality for the price.

    Thanks for your response Syndrome!
    I appreciate it.

    Do you know anything about the PX200's?

    Well, if your using them in a quiet environment, then I'd go with the 100's because they are open air which means that they are going to sound better. But if you think that you need the sound canceling then the 200's will be better for you. I personally don't have any experience with the 200's. I've use my 100's everywhere, from school, to public buses, to sitting at my desk. When I'm at my desk then no one around can hear my music, but when in a loud area like a bus then people near me could hear it because I turned them up loud enough to drown out the noise of the bus.

    I also have had the Px100's for just a little over two years and they are great. The only problem I have is that the cable is thin and that the headphones do not have any sound attenuation. This week I am going to be picking up some Sennheiser HD280Pro silver headphones, to have the ultimate headphone experience.

    I think they are a good product, and would highly recommend them

    I've got some 280's also, they're pretty nice, sound better than the PX100's but thats a whole different class. I'm actually thinking about getting some HD595's, but that might take a few months as they cost over 200$.
